Chapter 73 Heavenly Crystal Lotus
Soon, a burlap sack about the same height as Shi Lin appeared in front of him.
"Young Master, here is 10,000 gold soul coins. Do you need me to help you carry it out?" Chen Ke pointed to the sack in front of him and asked Shi Lin seriously.
"It's alright, no need." Shi Lin waved his hand, then placed his hand on the sack, and the sack disappeared in the next second.
Chen Ke was a worldly man and knew that this was the ability of a soul tool, so he didn't show any particular shock.
"Alright, thank you, Steward Chen. Farewell!" Shi Lin clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Ke, then turned and left.
Chen Ke sighed as he watched Shi Lin's retreating figure.
Given how much Shi Zhen cares for Shi Lin, if he didn't give him the money, he was afraid Shi Zhen would send him to the brewery to do hard labor the next day.
Chen Ke sighed. He should still give the money to the father and son.
"By the way, don't tell anyone about this today. I'll go and report to the master myself later," Chen Ke said to the accountants behind him, snapping out of his reverie.
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, after all, it was their responsibility to follow along in this matter.
After leaving the accounting office, it was completely dark. Shi An's carriage was waiting outside the courtyard.
Without any hesitation, Shi Lin jumped into the carriage and left with Shi An.
It's already dark, and the surrounding area is really deserted, so basically no one has noticed that Shi Lin has run away from home.
This also prevented the Xiao family from hunting down Shi Lin.
"Brother An, when will we arrive at the next city?" Shi Lin asked Shi An.
"We'll arrive at the next city, Black Feather City, tomorrow morning," Shi An said to Shi Lin without hesitation.
Hearing Shi An's words, Shi Lin nodded.
Then, Shi Lin took out a map, lit an oil lamp, and began to examine the map in front of him.
After finding the location of Black Feather City, the next route was basically determined.
Shi Lin didn't sit idle either; he sat in the carriage and began to cultivate. After all, time was precious, and Shi Lin dared not waste any time.
The next day was just beginning to dawn.
Shi Lin then felt the carriage stop.
"Young Master, we've arrived in Black Feather City. We'll rest here for a day before setting off again," Shi An said to Shi Lin in the carriage.
Shi Lin slowly exited his cultivation state, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and glanced at the city outside. Black Feather City was indeed larger than Notting City.
It's likely that the economic development there is much better than in Notting.
"Let's get some rest today. We'll set off again early tomorrow morning. There's no rush. My dad probably already knows I ran away from home, so he shouldn't come after me." Shi Lin stroked his chin, speculating about Shi Zhen's actions.
"I don't know. All I know is that Uncle Fugui will beat me when I get home," Shi An said, pouting and sounding a little scared.
"It's alright, I'll plead for you, Brother An. You rest for a while, and we'll go in after the Black Feather City gates open." Shi Lin patted Shi An on the shoulder and said with a smile.
It's too early now, and the gates of Black Feather City haven't opened yet, so Shi Lin and his companion will have to wait outside the gates for a while before they can enter Black Feather City.
After all, Shi Lin had cultivated all night yesterday and wasn't that tired, but Shi An had driven the carriage all night and needed to rest.
"Alright, young master!" Shi An replied without any pretense, then entered the carriage and lay down to sleep.
Shi Lin jumped down from the carriage, took out a small stool, sat outside, and began to cultivate.
Two hours later, when it was broad daylight, Shi An woke up and led Shi Lin into Black Feather City.
Soon, the two found a hotel, ate some food, and then went upstairs to rest.
Shi An was quite sleepy, but Shi Lin was very energetic, so Shi Lin came out of his room and prepared to take a stroll around Black Feather City.
What if he happened to come across some valuable materials to refine Gu worms?
After all, with each new type of Gu worm added, Shi Lin's combat power could potentially increase.
Shi Lin wandered around Black Feather City, buying anything new and interesting he saw, since 10,000 gold soul coins had pretty strong purchasing power.
Before he knew it, Shi Lin had arrived at the flower and bird market in Black Feather City.
"This is a place that suits me. If it's suitable, I'll buy some insects to refine Gu." Shi Lin looked at the sign in front of him, nodded in satisfaction, and then went inside.
As Shi Lin entered the market, he smelled a strong fragrance that blended various floral scents.
Shi Lin covered his nose, then went inside anyway.
The surrounding shopkeepers, seeing that Shi Lin was a child, were basically not very interested in him, since children don't have much money.
Shi Lin was happy to agree, and then wandered around the market by himself.
It must be said that Black Feather City is indeed larger than Notting City. Notting City doesn't even have a flower and bird market, but Black Feather City does.
Shi Lin selected some high-quality insects from several shops and stored them away, preparing to use them for making Gu poison.
Just then, Shi Lin's gaze was drawn to a lotus flower in a pond.
The lotus in front of him is growing in a completely transparent glass tank.
The lotus flower appears to be made entirely of crystal, with its red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves all being translucent, as if it were a masterpiece of nature!
"Boss, how much is this lotus flower?" Shi Lin asked the shopkeeper.
"Haha, young master, you've taken a fancy to this? It's quite expensive. Its name is Heavenly Crystal Lotus. It's said that it can transform into a soul beast, and eating its lotus petals can increase cultivation speed. Last time, someone offered three thousand gold soul coins, but I didn't sell it to them." The florist smiled faintly at Shi Lin and said to him.
Hearing what the florist said, Shi Lin rolled his eyes. The florist wouldn't believe him anyway.
"Five hundred gold soul coins. If that works out, I'll take it. If not, I'll leave." Shi Lin snorted irritably as he spoke to the shop owner.
"Well... alright, I'll sell it to you since you seem to have a connection with me!" The florist pretended to be hesitant, then stamped his foot and agreed to Shi Lin's offer.
"Damn, I overpaid." Shi Lin realized immediately when he saw the shopkeeper's expression; it seemed he was indeed too inexperienced.
But since they've already said all that, they can't haggle anymore.
"I'll deliver it to the inn in a bit." Shi Lin took out five hundred gold soul coins and threw them into the shop.
"Alright, young master, don't worry, I'll definitely deliver it to you safely," the florist said to Shi Lin with a beaming smile.
Shi Lin simply sighed, then turned and left.
